Overflowing gutters are not ideal for Arkansas homeowners. When water pours over the sides of your gutters instead of flowing through the system and out the downspout as designed, water often pools around your home's foundation. If allowed to continue, this can result in basement flooding or other water damage!
When looking for a solution for gutter overflow, the most effective fix comes from
replacing them with K-Guard! K-Guard gutters are designed to tackle common gutter problems and provide a maintenance-free water management system for your home. As a K-Guard-certified
gutter installation company, we can help you with your gutter overflow difficulties by showing you the benefits of a brand-new K-Guard gutter system!
But first, let’s talk about what causes gutters to overflow in the first place and how K-Guard resolves these issues.
Gutters can overflow with any precipitation but it is most noticeable during particularly heavy rainfall. If your gutters are overflowing, it may be due to a few different factors.
The most common cause of overflowing gutters is clogging. This occurs when leaves and other debris falling on your roof collect in the gutter troughs, creating blockages. These blockages impede water flow, slowing it down or even stopping it up completely, and causing the collected rainfall to pool and pour over the sides of your gutters.
The go-to solution for preventing clogged gutters is installing gutter guards, but if your gutter guards don’t fit your system perfectly or aren’t the right design, they can cause more harm than good. Gutter guards are designed to sit on top of your gutters and block debris from getting in while still letting the water flow through.
Certain
types of gutter guards, like mesh covers, can easily get covered up with leaves, negatively impacting their effectiveness. Since water can’t get into the gutters, it has nowhere else to go and it will either pool on your roof, overflow, or both.
Even if your gutters are clog-free and in perfect working condition, you may still have overflowing gutters. This is particularly common in areas of heavy rainfall, where standard-sized gutters simply can not keep up with the downpour. If your gutters are free of clogs but still overflowing, they likely are too shallow.
Overflowing gutters can be frustrating, especially if you’ve already had your gutters cleaned of clogs and repaired. Fortunately, there is a solution that can put an end to your overflow woes once and for all: K-Guard gutters!
K-Guard gutters have a unique design that addresses all of the common causes of overflow to keep your home safe from overflowing water and its damaging consequences. Here are just a few of K-Guard’s incredible features that directly address overflow issues:
K-Guard gutters have 40% more water capacity than our competitors, providing much more room to keep up with heavy rainfall. To fortify these troughs against weight precipitation, our robust, patented hangars ensure lasting stability and support. Standard gutters have unsupported troughs that can sag over time, especially when carrying a heavy precipitation load!
The crowning jewel of K-Guard gutters is their leaf-free protection system. There’s a reason it’s literally in the name: K-Guard Leaf-Free Gutter Systems! The entire design of K-Guard gutters applies the principles of water flow to guide water into and through the system without allowing any leaves or debris to follow.
As a
maintenance-free gutter system, your K-Guard gutters should
never clog. If they ever have issues with clogging or overflow, we’ll inspect them and take care of the problem at no cost to you!
Gutter systems that use a similar hooded gutter design for leaf-free protection typically have one large opening at the front to allow water into the gutter trough. This larger opening is much more likely to let debris in and cause clogging or other maintenance complications.
The K-Guard hood has two openings to channel water into the system. The front opening also features an S lip ( no other gutter system has) that ensures water and debris stay out! To top it off (pun intended), K-Guard hoods come in two pieces, making them much more affordable to repair following any storm damage.
K-Guard Leaf-Free Gutter Systems are custom-installed specifically for your home, giving you a perfect fit that will protect your home for decades to come. We’re so confident in the quality and reliability of K-Guard gutters that we guarantee them with a three-point warranty to keep you covered in all manner of unexpected situations.
